  1. This feature would add automatic page numbering to documents. This feature will be enabled in the document settings and and exporting the document in any kind of way would keep the page numbers, unless disabled in export options. Everyone I ask is annoyed, that something like this doesn't exist, so adding this feature might actually increase ratings. I hope you add this feature because I really need it. Thanks in advance!

    Edit: The user should be able select where the page numbering should start (For Example: The page numbered first can actually be the third page)

  2. Ruler or writing grid that is not really on a page after using the tool would be amazing. Because apples handwriting to text doesnt work with many languages!

  3. I'm aware I can resize/rotate my handwriting already, but, it doesn't have an option not to keep the aspect ratio. Sometimes I want to squish my handwriting a little to make it thinner inside a box.

    This option I've only seen it with Elements, but even then it's a Click/DeSelect/Hold/Click again and THEN editing. It's clunky. I think this also needs to be streamlined if added for handwriting. Not a fan of Rotate/Resize being the same handle either. It makes me make a selection bigger or smaller when trying to rotate.

  4. I request to GoodNotes team that please add community feature for Indian Students.

    Very disappointed with GoodNotes…..😔

  5. I know in addition to the 3 standard colors and the option to purchase templates and import templates. At least for those who paid for the GoodNotes Premium option allow users to pick any color papers ( e.g. colors from a color picker). I enjoy the app, but also enjoy color coding. I believe this will be a good thing to add to the app.

  6. -be able to move the toolbar to the bottom of the screen without moving the navigation bar.
    -to be able to move things around on the screen based on the document that I am editing.
    -be able to choose how much the zoom window moves for auto-advance because I always have to move it anyway since it doesn't follow the lines on the lined template

    -For example, we can move the toolbar to the bottom of the screen, but that changes the zoom editing to be at the top of the screen and the document at the bottom. I want…

  9. It’s amazing there is so few languages that can be recognized. It has been a known issue for years, and that’s why other apps or even platforms is moving up so fast ( Nebo as an app, or Supernote/Boox as e writers).

  10. It would be great if we can select formats such as images, text, links, when pasteboard has multiple format of items.

  11. Allow for the shape, pen, or highlighter snap feature to instinctively recognize an intersection of polygons, lines, or just a plain dot. This feature is mainly focused on imported documents and images. In the image below is a triangle (redrawn for clarity) where at each corner, the blue do for the highlighter snap shape is not at the corner. The snap tool should detect intersections, such as for a grid line or corner of a polygon, and automatically move to the intersection.

  12. Please, add syncing option with Yandex Disk as I've got used to this storage and don't want to pay for iCloud storage just because of your app.

  13. There should be an option to straighten handwriting, like the one in Apple Notes.

  14. I often use a combination of writing utensils and text boxes while taking notes, and it would be nice if there was a way to save more color presets for text. It would save some time while switching between writing and text if I could save the same additional color presets for both. A way to the transfer color presets of one utensil to the other utensils/tools would also be beneficial.

  15. Most students and workers share notes and often do not use the same note-taking app. As you can only import notes taken in other apps in pdf form, you can't edit the handwriting: no eraser, no lasso tool etc... It would be INCREDIBLY beneficial if the handwriting recognition also worked with imported documents. I think applying the same handwriting recognition technology to imported notes with handwriting written in other note-taking apps would be doable. I really hope that you consider this idea because I believe that it will be a very crucial feature that will distinguish Goodnotes from the other…

  16. Since the external display support has been published for the newer Ipad pro models, it would be great to have usage of it. For now it always opens the good notes file in full screen on your external monitor when you try to open it on your ipad to work on a note. Fixing that would be a great improvement for the workflow with external monitors.

  17. Hi! So it would be really nice if there was a sign in/log ing option. This way, every user could sign in a device and have all the documents there without the need of exporting the data. This doesn't mean to delete the sync option with other apps like Google Drive or OneNote, but it would be nice. For example, if you buy a new iPad, you wouldn't have to export de data from the GoodNotes app from your old iPad to the new one, you should only sign in in your new iPad and all your documents would be…

  18. Being able to upload a transparent png or a layered pdf and be able to grab a section of that image with the lasso to copy and paste while maintaining transparency. Currently you can just select the whole image and crop or drag in each item in individually which is unnecessarily painful.

  19. We PLEASE need a Widget! I don’t know any other important app that hasn’t got a widget for iOS.
    One where we can see our Books in a ‘library’, just one book at a time or a certain page of a book on our home screens. Please make this happen - it is really needed!!

  20. Have the option to zoom in the collections to verify the stickers instead of posting each one to find the one that I'm looking. It would be great if can be in the Mac app and iPad app.
